Best there is for cit courses
I love this course best layout tree lined great greens.
Closed
How can you possibly ask for a review on a course that has been closed for six months??? We loved playing here and were very disapointed that they closed!!
You do know it closed in December, right?
They keep asking for reviews.for River Bend. It closed before New Year. I’m sure conditions have deteriorated.
Don’t pay to play.
Course
I thoroughly enjoy playing on this course. The layout is very nice and challenging.
Course is a great challenge
I have played countless rounds of golf at River Bend and consider it my "go to" course. My brother-in-law and I have played in the Halifax Urban Ministry tournament for years, until Covid-19 messed up everything. I wish it wasn't closing.
Closing week
Read about the problems course was having. Vacationing from Michigan,went out with random couple who were local , had a good time. Clerk was having difficulty getting computer to work , cart worker was excellent. As a third golfer they still charged me when I asked to ride alone for the single cart.
Course closing
This course will be closing at the end of the year as a result of tax issues with Volusia county. It’s a shame this is one of my favorites.
Since Volusia has so few courses it would seem like the county could try to work something out

Course is closing
Unfortunately the course is closing at the end of December 2020 and the lack of upkeep is apparent. There are weeds growing on the fairways, the greens have bare spots and the tee boxes are patchy.

Decent course with excellent layout.
Greens not very well managed. Slow and have sand on them - need watering. The fairways are in fair condition, but need attention. The golf path is a hazard with big ruts and the bumpiest ride I've ever had taken. Could charge customers and sell the ride as an amusement park thrill ride..
Hello, tntofgb. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing River Bend Golf Club.
Needs work
Looks like whoever owns it has given up. Greens were in bad shape. The tee boxes were really bad. The cart paths need a lot of work. I got air on a couple of them. I love the layout there but the course is slowing going away until someone starts updating.
